Ok so I was banded this morning about 7am, I live two hours from surgery center, came home and been home for a few hours. I have had some gas pains and mild pain mostly to my back and shoulders. I have a heating pad I am going to start using. Should I start stool softeners now? I will be on the liquid diet for 10 days then move to pureed/ soft foods. I am having some slight chest pain but not bad. I go for my 1 week follow up on Thursday. been up walking and taking gas x most of the day. I am set to return to work on Monday so hoping these next two days go smoothly.

First of all congratulations I guess every side effects is different I just got my surgery on the 15th and I still get these chest pains feels like your going to get a heart attack pretty scary right well the doctor said it's normal thats it's gas. But I'm still recovering good luck
